    It's a weird place where a serial predator not getting a $120 million dollar payout feels like a victory.

    The ultra-rich live in a world with totally different rules.

    Y'all can marry Max Blum.

    No opposition from me on this.

    I have sights on another.

    honestly I'd gladly shack up with any of the main cast of Happy Endings.

    mostly though I want to be the meat in a Brad and Jane sandwich.

    at least the show is very well aware that it's horrific, and you can see it totally killing Phillip

    As of episode 2 Dave seems very much like the Ted Mosby of this show
    Does he get better

    Less he gets better and more the show becomes more aware of how much he sucks

    Also Graham do you agree that Dave looks weirdly like AJ Styles

    Basically they take him on the progression from "gosh, isn't he the relatable center of this ensemble" to "this guy is like if a Dave Matthews song were a person, let's point and laugh at him"

    They also more or less give up on taking the characters seriously as human beings and allow it to be a cartoon, which works greatly to its benefit

    I finally started watching Happy Endings maybe last year on Hulu

    but, since also maybe last year, I still have a few episodes left to watch and I think I've been putting it off because I'll be very sad when there are no more episodes to watch

    also the show aired wildly out of production order, which makes dave sucking stand out even more in season one

    the lady made me watch the first episode of happy endings and I hated it nearly as much as the first episode of Coupling

    I believe it gets better but uh

    I dunno when I'm gonna have time to sit through that again

    Yeah
    There’s some irony in the horribleness of it all, since one of the first emotional acts we see Phillip do in the show is beat the crap out of a pedophile.

    Happy Endings was such a great show killed by the absolute stupidity of the network that owned it.

    Nothing. Matters.

    It was the first show where the gay character didn't make me roll my eyes within seconds of their being on screen. I really appreciated the way they handled Max. He was such a great character.

    Yeah, I know people constantly praise the show but even then, it doesn't get enough credit for how it handles Max.

    max is great but I had been entertained enough by adam pally by the time I got to happy endings that it was just a forgone conclusion that max was great

    His other prominent television work is The Mindy Project.

    Which is a perfectly fine sitcom.

    He's one of very few gay characters who is written as if he's just a regular person who is sometimes an idiot, instead of either being the butt of the jokes or a magical unicorn with the solutions to all of life's problems.

    His sexual orientation doesn't define him.

    His trash lifestyle does.
